Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I changed something again. When I did the last command, it made home and end key work properly, but the page-down and page-up, and delete key stopped working. I think the ~/.inputrc completely replaces the commands in /etc/inputrc, instead of just adding to them. So I took the /etc/inputrc file, made a few changes to it, and copied it to ~/.inputrc. I didn't just make the changes in /etc/inputrc because it is part of a system file, and whenever I upgrade the package, the changes I placed in it would disappear.

-It might make sense for the package maintainer to make this change in /etc/inputrc.
